  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I don't know why but I can immediately tell this is the UK

  • Double yellows
  • The kerb
  • Colour of the asphalt
  • The masonry
  • The foliage (one of them things you don't realise you notice)
  • The knobbles so blind people know where to cross the road
  • The four lids

As an American who has never been to the UK, somehow I agree

As an American who lived in the UK for a few years. I agree.

You can see the yellow line at the edge of the carriageway which is pretty distinctive for the UK plus the dimpled tiles on the pavement are pretty much unique to Britain.

Also having carriageways and calling the paths that people walk on "pavement" are pretty much unique to Britain.

Which is why the "y'all" usage here is triggering me.

I’m from Manchester and use y’all all the time. Let’s normalise southern drawl words.

Australian y'all user checking in. It's not my fault there's no plural you in English, and the local (uncommon) variant "yous" has uneducated associations. Which, of course is unfair, but such is language and society.

Anyway, thanks y'all, I'm going to keep using it.

First glance I thought it was Boston, so yea UK likely.
